Need To Let Go
Hello,
This is my first post here. I'm looking for some support and guidance in healing from an old relationship with an alcoholic/addict. This relationship ended 13 years ago, but I still think about him every day. I have a good life now and am married with children. However, I can't get past the pain of what I went through years ago. I was with him for six years, and I was young. It was the most painful thing I've ever experienced. I've been through extensive therapy over the years, but here I am--still unable to let go. I have a great husband, friends, and family, but I feel very uncomfortable talking about this with anyone. I'm just looking for some support in finding my way.
Thank you!

I don't know if you have checked out the Friends Of section yet, Lala, but I agree with the suggestion that was made above. I don't think alcoholics would be useless to converse with at all, but I suspect there is a lot of supportive wisdom to get out of the conversations had by the people who have lived AROUND alcoholics/drug users.
